But Bizzell is facing a far more daunting task now, as he fights through Stage 4 kidney cancer. However, just as he doesn’t flinch at teaching difficult subjects and concepts, Bizzell is taking his latest battle in stride. The man just knows how to fight adversity, and he doesn’t stand alone. Last week, the Saeger Middle School community rallied behind one of its favorite teachers, collecting donations to help him pay his medical fees.https://saeger.fhsdschools.org/cms/One.aspx?portalId=998943&pageId=31913154
